A "soft toe" from Nicks.

I love these boots, they represent a lot to me in terms of choosing to ware things that I think are cool. These are cool boots.

Halfway broken in!

I would love to try these with a different midsole. The uppers look great after half a year and the internals are holding up quite well so far.

My most reliable and bombproof boot.

Im pleased so far with this leather and finishing quality. Im excited to see what my next Nicks will be. Also how can you not think these are super cool?

Rugged, reliable for wet indoor work, quiet!

I think there is a reason the ND3 is so popular compared to others in its series. The online community seems to love this boot and I find that love to be well placed. The learning curve of lacing such a tall boot isn't something I see talked about but it did take me a few attempts the first few days. New laces will always be harder to work with compared to worn ones.

The thickest boot I have purchased. The waxy leather has a slight red hue to it out of the box.

Zero ware, these are Dome boots for the 24-25 dome

Snug around the foot up to the toebox where it opens up for a more roomy fit. The heels are roomy but not concerningly. Overall very comfortable.

This was a happy accident. I live in Spokane and wanted to go down to Nicks one day to get sized and see what was in the store stock. At the time I didnt see anything that was both in my size and a boot I wanted. After waiting a few days I saw that a member on the subreddit said they snagged a new pair of ND3 boots (Sept 24) and that had me curious. I jumped online and saw they had my size ready to go. I snagged them and picked them up within 24hrs. These are my grail boots and I never thought id get to own them. My intro into all of this was from Rose Anvil and im quite lucky to say I will be Dome'ing these this year!

How did you determine your size?
